Paddy’s Plane Misunderstanding!

With a sigh and a smile, the attendant gently led him to his seat. “Sir, it’s 14B.”
As Paddy settled in, he put his seatbelt on, but then fiddled with it for a good ten minutes. He asked the woman next to him, “How do you get this thing to work? I tried twisting it like a pretzel, but it’s not budging.”

The woman sighed, “It’s a buckle, Paddy. Just click it.”
Paddy clicked it, and then, satisfied, looked out the window. He was finally ready to relax. That is, until the captain’s voice boomed over the intercom.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we’re cruising at 35,000 feet. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight.”

Paddy, a bit too eager to get the most out of the flight, leaned over to his neighbor and whispered, “Do you think 35,000 feet means we’re halfway to the moon?”
His neighbor, shaking her head with a smile, whispered back, “No, Paddy. We’re still firmly on Earth.”
Paddy grinned, “Ah well, close enough!”
